HSV Tourer unveiled

HSV Tourer


Holden Special Vehicles has announced a new addition to the luxury and performance garage with confirmation that a HSV 'Tourer' or station-wagon, will be launched later this year.

The HSV Tourer will be on sale from October, with specifications similar to the ClubSport R8 which means it will sport the new US-sourced 6.2-litre V8 - codenamed LS3 - developing 317 kW of power.


Price and final specifications will be confirmed closer to start of sale but price rises of between 1.3 and 2.8 per cent across the HSV range has also been announced. $61,550 will get you entry into the HSV range with the Maloo R8 while the flagship HSV Grange is the most expensive at $84,690.

HSV has only released one image of the upcoming tourer and sadly, the rear design remains a mystery - for now. More will be unveiled in due course and so remember to check back on ZCars for the latest updates.

Audi RS6 Avant
Audi RS6 Avant


With all the attention the stunning Audi R8 has garnered since its launch, it's easy to forget all about the equally blistering Audi RS6 model.

Bestowed with 426 kW of power and 650 Nm of torque from its V10 twin-turbo engine, it is the most powerful engine in the current Audi line-up and makes the R8 look well under equipped in the engine department in comparison.




The engine is a finely tuned piece of machinery and can be regarded as a work of art in the automotive world and it seems the German car maker is keen to emphasise this point with their latest commercial featuring two dozen or so gymnasts that appear to be mimicking the inner workings of the V10 engine.

Those that would have preferred more noise and shots of the RS6 in motion will be disappointed but this commercial goes to shows how gimmicky car manufacturers have to be these days to promote their products.
